Astroneer from fledgling game studio, System Era, has been in Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview since December 2016. They announced today during E3 that two years later they will be coming fully out of Early Access with their 1.0 launch in December.
The game has your cute, low-poly astronaut mining for resources and building outposts on procedurally generated planets in this sandbox adventure game. It has a vibrant look and plenty to offer players who enjoy the loop of building games like Minecraft where you are dropped into a world and set free to create and play with the tools the developers give you.
It also features cooperative play if you’ve got a friend that would like to do some interplanetary colonizing with you. Check out the trailer above and keep it here on Gaming Trend for everything you need coming out of E3.
Nathan lives in Colorado catching Pokemon on the Go and at home. He previously spent three months interning for Game Informer before coming back to Gaming Trend to spread the good word on video games. His real passion, though, is collecting different versions of the 3DS and other weird Nintendo garbage. It's a never-ending quest for less space in his house.
